The best time to sanitize my washing machine is when it's colder outside. I actually have a "sanitize" cycle on my washer. It uses the hottest water and bleach.
In order to do the remodel in the utility room (adding a bathroom), I will need to purge. There will be a trip to the antique store and the thrift store this weekend.
My utility room/craft storage is a fairly large but oddly built room. I'll lose my coat rack, so I may talk him into building an room over the side porch for coats and boots etc. An enclosed area before entering the side door.
Anyway, what's getting purged?
-antique sewing machine
-antique sewing chair (that has a compartment in the seat for storage
-antique table for 2, 2 matching chairs
-2 antique travel cases (from Dad's place)
-antique small TV (from Dad's place)
-egg carton lamp (I will never use it and no one in the family wants it and I can't be the one who saves everything just because)
-two boxes of books, one of odd stuff and clothing
I literally took me almost 3 hours to clean out the drawers of the antique sewing machine. I haven't been in it since I last used it over 13? years ago. Mom gave me her portable new one, so the antique Singer has to go.
Once these items are all out of the house, I'll be purging more storage drawers we had under the counter in the utility room. The kids had one just for the pets, so that one will go for sure. We don't store anything in it. I think we used it for portable watering units for walks etc. Anyway, I have much to purge yet in there.
No snow here so far. They predicted some, but nothing yet. The sun was out yesterday and the chickens loved (and I as well).

Wish I had the bug underneath me to start purging. If only our thoughts and imaginations were real and with a snap, DONE ALREADY.
Keep up the good work.

Pretty sure "stuff" multiplies much like the dust bunnies that miraculously appear under my bed.
God bless.
